[VHFcontesting] [PNWVHFS] Re: Straight Key Night!

[frank bechdoldt]

don't forget the qsos will count for the grid exploration program if you get a qsl card from that rusty keyer.
 
Also, note that cn76 wil be added to oregon, it was thought to be inacessable (in oregon)  but I was wrong.
However it can be road blocked during high winds/ storms, no point being washed off the spit for a qso.
 
Happy new year. I usually don't do straight key night because the term "straight" key is politically incorrect and not all inclusive.
 
The term  discriminates against my commodore 64 based computer CW interface. I will be available for PSK 13, the old C-64 is too slow for psk 31. All Qsos will be recorded on my cassette tape-drive.
